if it's the old type drops then you can't wrong with a nice shiny new set of tange pinch type trx forks

if it's an early one, you could go for the ashtabulas, maybe

if it's got the stepped type drops, see if you can land some mongoose team forks. like the later ones found on a cali. sometimes thinner. not as easy to come by as the aforementioned 2 though!

THE ONE I WON ON THE US BAY HAS THE OLD STYLE DROPOUTS 81 (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/cc17/INSIDEOUTLAND/7847_12.jpg)
